Overview • RF Layout • Coax distribution • Coax supports • Amplifiers • Services • Access & Egress • AFC Access • Clashes • Summary
RF Layout • At the beginning of the year it was unclear whether we could fit the RF system in the MICE hall due to the space constraints. • Many systems already in place - shield wall, power supplies & racks, mezzanine floors, false floor support structures. All of which we have had to work around. • A design requirement was also to maintain full access to AFC modules without the need to remove any of the RF system components when moving the AFC modules into the parked position. • Obviously - produce a layout addressing all the requirements of the RF engineers to provide a full working system.
4” Coax Distribution – Far Side RF tuners. These represented by bellows units. Total travel 60mm To ease installation will consider splitting coax’s at this point before cooling channel false floor
4” Coax Distribution – Far Side Cooling channel false floor Concrete Ramp, /access walkway Coax support
4” Coax Distribution – Near Side RF tuners. These represented by bellows units. Total travel 60mm Coax length compensation to far side.
4” Coax Distribution – Near Side Cover plates over coax for protection from accidental damage
4” Coax Distribution – Near Side Very congested in this area. Will need to modify some steelwork.
Coax Supports TEE SLOT RAILS Vertical Longitudinal Rotation CLAMP Horizontal
Coax Sections – Installation/Removal Concerns ~55mm required to clear mating flange ~35mm to clear copper coax tube Currently rigid system ~ no flexible sections Rely on adjustment in clamp system. Need to speak with supplier to discuss installation options
Amplifiers 4616 Amplifiers TH116 CERN Amplifier 3” coax TH116 Refurbished Amplifier
TH116 Amplifiers - Refurbished Hybrids • TH116 Refurbished Amplifier has 3 hybrids & 3 dummy loads • 6” coax from amplifier Dummy Loads
TH116 Amplifier - CERN Hybrids • TH116 CERN Amplifier has 2 hybrids & 2 dummy loads • 6” coax from amplifier Dummy Loads
Services 4616 Services feed into bottom of amp Water flow & return ‘T’s into main run for both 4616’s and TH116’s Water flow & return main pipe run Similar arrangement will be used for the dummy loads on the shield wall
Services 4616 services run under access platform 4616 access for commissioning
Access & Egress Discussed access & egress with Fire Safety Officer. Agreed this arrangement would be acceptable.
AFC Access AFC’s are moved out of the page on rolling platform into parked position to change absorbers. Clear pathway is available but AFC module 2 is close.
AFC Module 2 This line is projected from edge of rolling platform
Clashes Steelwork Clash Possible solution ? Remove small section and add another support leg. Additional support leg
Clashes Clash with steelwork, local relieve or rework required
RF waveguide clash with the false floor vertical support columns Clash with foot 185
Summary • Firstly, we believe it is possible to fit the RF system within the MICE hall. • There are some clashes with some steel work on both the cooling channel false floor and the parked position false floor – none of which are show stoppers but will need to be resolved. • Installation will be tricky especially mating the coax lines with no appreciable bellows units or flexible coax’s in the current design. – currently relying on degrees of freedom in coax supports. Suppliers may have other suggestions to ease installation and removal of coax tubes. • Will need to survey and check positions of components very closely during installation. • Fire officer has been consulted and agreed that what is proposed causes no access problems or issues.
